Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company announced it will open an infrastructure region in Indonesia by the end of 2021/early 2022.

The new AWS Asia Pacific (Jakarta) Region will consist of three Availability Zones at launch, and will be AWS's ninth region in Asia Pacific, joining existing regions in Beijing, Mumbai, Ningxia, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, and an upcoming region in Hong Kong SAR. Currently, AWS provides 61 Availability Zones across 20 infrastructure regions worldwide, with another 12 Availability Zones across four AWS Regions in Bahrain, Hong Kong SAR, Italy, and South Africa expected to come online by the first half of 2020.

"The cloud has the power to transform businesses, educational institutions, and entire government agencies across Indonesia, and with another AWS infrastructure region coming to Asia Pacific, we look forward to helping accelerate this transformation," said Peter DeSantis, Vice President of Global Infrastructure and Customer Support, Amazon Web Services. "Opening an AWS Region in Indonesia will support the country's fast-growing startup ecosystem, large Indonesian enterprises, and government agencies by helping drive more technology jobs and businesses, boosting the local economy, and enabling organizations across all verticals to lower costs, increase agility, and improve flexibility. We're excited about AWS being a meaningful part of this journey."
